Mother's Day has been bittersweet for me for the past six years, I lost my mama in January of 2003...and for the next couple of years I just wantedthe day to hurry up and end...felt like a motherless child...But time heals all...and now I enjoy the memoriesOf my mama and the cool, loving relationship,We had....God knows I still miss her,And I certainly miss the fact that we would havesat on the porch on Sunday laughing and talking,Eating something she had cooked or I had cooked, or both, she love my chicken and rice...And I know she would have loved to see that young beauty pictured here...her first great-grandchild...Amira Jameela...lord would we have enjoyed spoiling that child together...

This morning I was thinking about that year she died, I didn't want to go home, I felt I could not do it, my husband didn't question me, eventhough his mom was there, he understood and supported me....but on the morning of Mother's Day I got up, got dressed and told him, 'Let's hit the road...we need to see the other mothers in my life...at that time I still had three aunts and my mother-in-law and they all loved me and considered me to be their child...so home we went,And though there were some tough moments that day...it was good...So this weekend I will go again as I have always done, spend some time with my Aunt Alice,She is the only one of the my mom's sisters left...and spend some time with my mother-in-law...And know that I am blessed, for what I had and what I have...
